Which lines in this excerpt from “Flight” by John Steinbeck contain personification? The farm buildings huddled like the clingin

g aphids on the mountain skirts, crouched low to the ground as though the wind might blow them into the sea. . . . Five-fingered ferns hung over the water and dropped spray from their fingertips. . . . The high mountain wind coasted sighing through the passand whistled on the edges of the big blocks of broken granite. . . . A scar of green grass cut across the flat. And behind the flat another mountain rose, desolate with dead rocks and starving little black bushes. . . . Gradually the sharp snaggled edge of the ridge stood out above them, rotten granite tortured and eaten by the winds of time. Pepe had dropped his reins on the horn, leaving direction to the horse. The brush grabbed at his legs in the dark until one knee of his jeans was ripped.

How does a website address help you evaluate the reliability of a website
mezya [45]

You must ask yourself these series of questions and do these spot checks:

-Is it labeled as an ad?

-Is it a reputable publisher? (google is NOT a reliable source as it is not a source at all but will help you find information about the website address)

-Check the security status in the address bar

-Typing the website's name in a search engine gives you information on how highly used it is.

These are some of the ways the address can help you check reliability of the website.
